With less than two months until the big race we've decided to begin training again. Last year we sort of eased ourselves into it because we were a teensy bit afraid. This year, we know what to expect and we know that mean we can't pussyfoot our way around training.
Today was Easter Sunday and what a beautiful day in the Truckee Meadows. I think the temperature hit 72 degrees. After having a pretty relaxing day, thanks to a great breakfast by Peg's Glorified Ham n' Eggs, we realized we could no longer delay the inevitable. Run we must, and run we did.
We started out around 7 pm, with the sun securely hidden behind clouds and a nice breeze to keep us from overheating. Rather than just hitting our neighborhood we ventured out towards Mira Loma Park. Neither of us were gagging, and we had figured out a nice cadence to our spit cycles. Oh yes, training has definitely started.
Not a bad run...just under 3 miles (2.73 miles) in 27:27.....just around 10:04/mile.* Not too shabby for our first day out. Here's hoping I can walk tomorrow. ;)
*RunKeeper GPS was all wonky and didn't correctly measure the mileage. The time has since been corrected to a more realistic pace. ;)
